Abstract
We review recent advances in particle physics enabled and motivated by the rapid progress of quantum technologies. The continued development of quantum computing toward large-scale, fault-tolerant systems has the potential to address dynamical problems that remain extremely challenging for classical computational approaches, opening new avenues for studying nonperturbative dynamical processes. Tabletop detectors and quantum-enhanced technologies have reached unprecedented sensitivities, enabling novel searches for ultralight particles, gravitational waves, and other physics beyond the Standard Model in parameter regimes previously inaccessible to conventional instrumentation. Taken together, these developments highlight a rapidly evolving landscape in which quantum technologies are beginning to reshape fundamental physics. We aim to synthesize recent progress and illuminate the opportunities they present for advancing particle physics in the coming years.
